A Cultivation Tale: The Godly Punisher

Chapter 76: Rage

After a while, the intense pain he felt in his soul disappeared. Then he stood up. He looked around and vanished from where he was.

Alex was still in the cave in the unconscious state. He had really strained himself mentally this time.

Seeing Alex was in trouble as part of his abilities had been exposed, the entity in The Purifier's sword had no choice than to use the little power it had recovered to cloak the cave Alex was in.

Not very long, the instructors arrived in this new area. Then they sent their saint-senses into every caves in the mountains.

They scanned and scanned all over again, then their brows furrowed.

He can't be that fast right?

The hell! Is that how we missed that boy?

What treasure gave him that speed?

So many shocking questions flashed in their minds. They wondered how Alex was quickly able to evade them.

The instructors from Alex's academy were greatly injured. Blood streamed down the multiple wounds in their bodies. They could have taken pills for recovery but were in the unconscious state. The attacks they received had knocked them unconscious and in a seriously wounded state.

After the instructors from the other academies searched for sometime, they hurried back to where their student was. Then they too began to look around for the water dragon egg.

Actually, why they didn't see the battle between Nadja and that man was because of an illusion array. This array transmitted illusory elements to all the instructors and students in here. Except Nadja and Alex because he wanted to show himself to them.

They didn't see the pool Nadja dug in the earth with her power and telekinetically pulled water from far places including atmospheric water into the massive hole, transforming it into a large pool.

The array was still operating. And so none of them could detect the pool Nadja made. Even if they did find it, there was no point again as Alex already has the water dragon egg.

They searched for a long time before they finally stopped and left with the student from their respective academies.

.....

When Jennifer flew out of the crater she formed. She sent her saint-sense into the distance around her but all she saw was a great wilderness that seemed to have no end.

Illusion array right?

Then she brought out the sword Alex gave her. In it were four voidstones that each contained a large network of arrays. She activated the sword and the massive array networks in the voidstones began to draw upon energy from enormous energy crystals in the arrays.

These energy crystals were cultivation energies that due to overabundance turned into mists, condensed and solidified, becoming solid energy crystals.

A small fraction of the huge energy crystals melted, turning into a large stream of energy. These were channeled to the body of the sword through the voidstones. Then the treasure-sword glowed in a brilliant red and blue light as the energies conducted across it.

As the energies accumulated in the sword, the air around it for thousands of feet shook. Emitting dual light like it was a two-colored sun, Jennifer flew straight up into the sky and slashed down at the earth from a great height.

Rmmmm!

The air trembled and produced a sound as large amount of dual energies discharged from the sword.

Backed by Jennifer's comprehension of the strongest battle-methods which was at the sage general stage, the energies released condensed and shaped into an enormous blue-red lotus.

This energy-lotus, condensed from sharpforce energies and spanning tens of thousands of kilometers smashed into the earth.

BOOM!!!

The earth shook greatly and a wave carrying great destructive power surfaced and traveled in all directions. A large crater, tens of thousands of kilometers wide formed in the earth from the impact. Dusts was thrown into the air and this blackened the entire area.

Then if one looked closely, it was like reality was warping. One would see things appearing and disappearing. After a while, everything returned to normal.

Jennifer looked on and saw that she was in a deserted area. More like a desolated place. Then far in front of her were the men who had attacked earlier. But she saw they were pale and were trembling. These effects were probably caused by the fright of her fearsome physical strength and by the powerful weapon she wielded. Then they shot off into different directions to run away from her.

Why objects began to appear and disappear was because Jennifer's overcharged strike destroyed the massive array buried in the earth.

Now that she had ruined the array and the men attacking her had shot away out of terror. She quickly took off in a direction, hoping to get to any city to use either a ultivehicle or a space transference array.

...

Shooting through the sky at a tremendous speed, at a speed many times the speed of sound, she finally got to a city.

When she got there, she immediately requested from people the direction to a space station.

The space station is a place where the space transference array are installed in and used.

Following the directions she was given, Jennifer got there. She was charged an exorbitant amount to singly use the space transference array but she paid for it without a grunt.

Stepping into the spatial displacement formation which was a round platform that was surrounded by four columns and had two large rings lying at its centre, the person in charge activated it and the rings lying on the ground floated up and began to spin at an insane speed around Jennifer.

The columns emitted a blue light that shot at Jennifer as beams. These massive beams of blue light enveloped Jennifer's figure and by the power of the array, she floated many inches above the ground.

Whirrrrrr

As the array operated and the rings revolved around her. Her body began to grow blurry till it finally faded away. She vanished from here and appeared in another space station. This was located in the Skytrident city, in the city the Black Dragon Academy was located. Her body materialized in the space transference array and when it deactivated, she came out of it.

All that was in her mind now was Alex, she was totally worried about him. She wanted to rush down to the academy, to her residence and hope to see Alex safe and sound in there.

Flying in the air at a shocking speed, few minutes later, she arrived at the academy. Then her heart began to beat wildly. More like out of control. She couldn't control her emotions as it was overwhelmed with worry and fear.

She got in and exchanged pleasantries with the other instructors she met along the way. Then she hurried down to her living quarter and saw only Jake. He didn't go to class.

When Jake saw Jennifer, he smiled and greeted her, welcoming her. She nodded and asked "I have sent my saint-sense to scan my place, but I couldn't detect Alex. He's in class?"

Jake shook his head. "Nope. Being a genius, he was lined up with other students and were carried to a place where they had rumors of sighting of a water dragon egg" he replied.

Jennifer's worry intensified. Then she asked "Since when did they leave?"

Jake could see the worry in her face and became worried too. "Many days ago. But they have returned. The instructors that left with them came back very injured. We don't know what happened to them or who attacked them. But it's good all the students picked for the mission returned safe and sound but I couldn't find Alex." He replied.

"What?"

Jennifer's eyes shone with fury. Then she dashed to the principal's office in a fit of rage.

She easily crushed the door's handle with her strength and went in.

The principal looked at her and asked with annoyance clearly written all over his face. "Jennifer what's the meaning of this?"

She coldly snorted and said "When I was gone, you selected Alex to go with a group of boys to get an egg. The others returned but he didn't. And from the way you are sitting, you don't seem to be worried about his disappearance."

The principal's brows furrowed. "Of course I am greatly worried that he didn't come back with the others from the adventure they went for. But trust me, I am doing something about it." he said.

"Oh really? You mind telling me what you are doing about this?!" Jennifer said shouting at him.

"Jennifer, I would advice you to calm down. Nothing is going to work out with you being like this. Give me time. I said I am working something out." The principal replied.

"No. You aren't giving me the answer I want. Where did you send them to? Give me the address of the place. I am going there to search for him" Jennifer said.

The principal looked at her and replied "South of here. About five hundred kilometres away. You would come across a chain of mountains and before it a large jungle."

Jennifer then left. But before she could leave the office through the door, the principal said "Don't tell me you are actually going there to search for him. I told you am working on something to get him back. We would find him. That's a promise. You just came back from your mission and didn't even report anything about it to me"

Jennifer looked at him with vex purely written all over her face. She said "I am going now to search for him. And I give you three days Gerald. If I come back and don't see him, I swear I am going to raise hell in the academy. That's a promise"

Then she flew out of the academy into the horizon.

Gerald came out of his office. Floating in the air, he looked at Jennifer in the far distance blazing through the sky.

"I would like to see how you would raise hell Jennifer."
